Charlie: King of Cuddles

If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I'm a loverboy. I'm the best cuddler you'll ever meet. I do have 13 years of practice after all! I'm not food-motivated, I'm not toy-motivated… I'm YOU-motivated. Aside from sleeping, following you around, and occasionally staring at myself in the mirror, cuddling is really all I'm interested in. I've got it down to a science, too - here's my technique: step one, you make eye contact with me for longer than 0.5 milliseconds (which obviously means you're inviting me over to snuggle). When you don't immediately reach your hands out to pet me, I'll start purring and ram my face into yours until you do (a few minutes usually does the trick). And then I'll spend another few minutes showing you what 13 faithful years of working overtime at the biscuit-making factory looks like. If I still don't get pets, I'll ever-so-gently reach out a single paw to your face to poke you (yes, poke) on the cheek. All of this is just me warming up, by the way. I'm really just trying to prepare my favorite sleep spot, which is directly on top of you. When you lay on your back, I'll walk up to the top of your chest, plop down, stretch my arms out, bury my face into your neck, and purr like an engine into your ears. Sleep on your side? On your stomach? No problem. I'll still find a spot to lay on top of you.



My foster mom likes to tell people about when I first arrived to her house: she opened the crate door expecting me to be nervous, but I just calmly sauntered out to scope out the new digs and then spent the rest of the evening happily accepting pets. Even the foster volunteer who brought me over was blown away by how chill I was. Any time she has guests over, I'll walk right up to them and accept their pets, too. Honestly, I've never met a stranger!



Moral of the story is: I'm just a big loverboy. If you're looking for a lowkey, drama-free guy in his golden years to show you unconditional love and affection 24/7, I guarantee that I'm your guy. And as long as you have a hand to pet me and a chest to lay on, you're my guy, too!

I'm Charlie, a big, sweet grey tabby boy. I spent thirteen years with the family who raised me from a kitten, but they faced a serious illness at home and could not keep me. I arrived here on my thirteenth birthday. I am gentle and easygoing, and I am a little picky about my wet food. Senior cats adopt for only $50, and I still have so much love to give.

This kitty is currently in a loving foster home and has been tested negative for FIV/FELV, microchipped, has age appropriate vaccinations, and has been spayed/neutered.
